smc2802w Can't lite it

I am struggling with this card. I thought it was supported.

lspci output...
Network controller: Intersil Corporation Intersil ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette] (rev 01)

With iwconfig I can change the mode add a wep key and more but when I start it with

ifconfig eth1 up it gives me ..
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Timer expired

If I start it with net.eth1 it sets the key the lan ip but cant set the gateway.

Any direction would be appreciated. I have already read a ton of posts and googled this...

Newer prism54 cards use the "soft mac" chipset instead of the "full mac" one, and the "soft mac" is not supported for the moment (see that thread and check if you have the same error messages). Ndiswrapper should get it to work though.
